A glimpse into a bone-chilling teaser of Bramayugam

The black and white teaser starts with Arjun Ashokan standing in front of a mansion that is in a dilapidated condition while in the background we hear the narrator say, "Like time, the river flows winding and turning relentlessly. Once you step into the gateway of this mansion, you will find the river, plains, and mountains, nowhere else but here." In the hope of finding a better life and fortune, Arjun Ashokan's character enters the old mansion, but as he walks deep into the house, maniacal laughter scares him." Towards the end of the clip, Mammootty makes an unusual entry, looking all mysterious. In the background, he can be seen saying, "A gracious moment indeed to have a guest after a long time! Welcome to my humble abode," and smiles mysteriously.

The film is helmed by Rahul Sivadas and stars Arjun Ashok, Sidharth Bharathan, and Amalda Liz, in pivotal roles. The pan-Indian film will be released in five languages — Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi.
